Emily Dickinson Case

Emily Dickinson reminds me of Adrienne Rich--to an extent. While she did not express and shout out that women needed to make the move to become feminist such as Woolf, Cixous, and Wittig, she did write for women--as a women--without the fear of striking out. She broke the rules and followed what i like to call "her own instruction manual" to define herself. She wrote with such....obstruction. It was cumbersome--a hard load to carry--yet rich in all its glory. I just cannot help but get that line out of my head about her writing being the loaded gun. That is where i believe Rich comes into the picture. Rich and Dickinson wrote with such boldness. They had already killed the angel by putting their own words down on paper and publishing. Publish. Publish. Publish. They got their own ideas out in to the world and did not give a hoot what man read them. They were champions.

Yet, I would not like to take away from what Woolf, Cixous, Wittig and all the authors for that matter have done to move forward the feminist movement. They were and always will be amazing authors. I just truly enjoy the way Rich and Dickinson carried themselves through the written word.

Though, I would like to add that it is difficult to understand Dickinson's writing, but once you get into that groove (like we talked about in class) it really makes sense and is all the more enjoyable to read.
